3 Reasons Against

Only HDD Storage Medium

The storage speed of this PC is HDD, which is typical of many desktop computers of this spec and age. A Hard Disk Drive (HDD) is the traditional storage method for computers. A HDD stores the information on magnetic disks. HDD drives are cheap, but they are slower than Flash and SSD bases storage systems.

We think you might also be interested in some of the other HDD desktop computers currently available including the 280 G1[pl_2934654_price], or the 800 G2 SFF[pl_3768356_price] both from HP or the DELL OptiPlex 3020[plb_2457302_price] which is cheaper.

If the storage speed of this PC is too slow for you then you might also want to consider the OptiPlex 9020 SFF[pl_2414879_price] (SSD), the OptiPlex 7020 MT[pl_2788976_price] (SSD), or the OptiPlex 9020[pl_2985619_price] (SSD) all from DELL.
